All USPA members receive a USPA Membership Card, a card protection envelope and a USPA member decal when they join and renew. The membership card includes the member’s specific credentials and brief information about the third-party liability insurance coverage that comes with membership.

All USPA members receive Parachutist magazine each month, featuring skydiving news, color photographs, how-to articles, product and service reviews, and events. For more information about Parachutist, visit parachutistonline.com.

USPA is located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 50 miles south of Washington, D.C., along Interstate 95. The government relations staff at USPA Headquarters includes aviation governing professionals. USPA maintains access at the highest level of the FAA and federal government. These important human resources defend skydiving from those in government and industry who believe U.S. airports and airspace should be reserved for major commercial interests.

USPA members receive third-party liability insurance to include bodily injury and property damage while skydiving at a sanctioned drop zone. USPA members must separately purchase through USPA, the third-party liability insurance coverage for exhibition jumps not covered by the regular third-party liability membership insurance program.

USPA members may earn ratings in the instructional program. Learn the process of getting your coach, AFF, static-line or IAD ratings. Take it one step further by getting your course director rating as well.

Membership allows skydivers to become eligible to compete in national and international meets. USPA sanctions the USPA National Parachuting Championships and selects the U.S. Parachute Team for international competition. Why not learn what it takes to compete.

Parachutist magazine is a standard benefit and is mailed through a publisher’s periodical class. For deliveries within the United States, members can upgrade the delivery service of the magazine to the first class delivery service for an extra fee. This service should make the delivery time more consistent each month. The airmail delivery service is available for deliveries outside of the United States for an extra fee. This service will make the delivery considerably faster and the delivery time should be more consistent each month.

USPA members and their families are eligible for AD&D coverage. With this insurance, you are covered whether you are involved in a parachuting accident or an unrelated accident. You are insured for loss of life, limb, sight, speech or hearing, as well as for paralysis, at home or away, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. Accidents can happen—whether in skydiving or any other activity. That’s why it’s important to make sure you and your family are covered if you’re injured in any kind of accident.
